Love relationships are on the basis of the people involved and the context of their time. The nature of texts based on love relationship is heavily influenced by the composer and the context of their time which reflects the nature o f the relationship. In Elizabeth Barret Browning 's "Sonnets from the Portugese" the love portrayed is based on a real relationship showing all aspects linked to it in a Victorian context. In Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby", an idealised love is projected but through the context of the American Dream it undermines decays this so called "idealised love". May I try making this clearer?
Love relationships have been the subject of many texts. These texts are shaped by the composer's personal context and the values of the world around them. EBB's "Sonnets from the Portuguese", published in 1846, portray a love that is based on a real relationship and is influenced by the conventions and values of Victorian England. F Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby was composed in 1924 during the Jazz Age in America. This love is based on the projected ideal of Daisy Buchanan but the prospect of real love is undermined by the values of a corrupted American Dream.
